FIVEten Studio Presents

Julia Goodman

Oct 1 through Oct. 30 2008
Reception Friday Oct. 3, 2008 6-9pm

Julia Goodman is an artist and papermaker, living and working in San Francisco. Originally from Atlanta, Georgia, she received her Bachelors in International Relations and Peace and Justice Studies from Tufts University in 2001. Julia spent six years in the Los Angeles area working at non-profit arts organizations and teaching at a dropout
recovery high school. She has exhibited at galleries and museums throughout California and is currently pursuing her Masters of Fine Arts at the California College of Arts.

In tell-tales, Julia Goodman experiments with the narrative potential of tracking wind through sculpture and photography. A tell-tale is both a literary and nautical term. Handmade paper sculptures track air circulating and movement. The pieces are all made from gathered junk mail repurposed with the intentions of telling a more personal and open story. With photographic assistance from Klea McKenna, this investigation travels on to film to capture an immediate and phenomenological experience of wind.
